THANK YOU Sherrie for this FAB SUBMISSION!

Located at 1873 Henderson Hi-way in Winnipeg , this is the first indoor mural presented on GLaM.

Considering it is -23C & feels -30C due to wind chill, this indoor mural at Triple B’s Restaurant & Billiards is more than okay by me!

I can’t find any info on the artist, yet.

There is still a Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, Marlon Brando & John Wayne to post, so this will be a 3 part post.

A million more thank yous to Sherrie!

It’s a today mural, but the women’s tunics are traditional!

I’d like to know more about the mural/artist. There’s a close-up on the signature in the slideshow.

Pathways to Illumination

On February 5, 2015February 5, 2015 By ResaIn Book Reviews, Murals, Street Art50 Comments

Christy Birmingham of Poetic Parfait fame wrote this book of poems.

Yet, it’s more than a collection of poetry. It is clearly a journey, a journey that begins in pain.

As she took me along her travails using metaphor to an exquisite height, I became enlightened. The rhythms of her near and not rhymes rocked me in their arms.

Her pondering did not pander. Rather, I looked out upon her reality with a gentle concern .

Artist: Mandy Leuwellen — Artist: Mandy van Leeuwen

In the end, I was rewarded with the sense of being freely born, and although not into a perfect ending, into a sense of dignity, positive energy and wisdom.

The final poem in Christy’s book is titled “What If”. Therefore, I ask, “what if you read it?” Well, if you do, you will be inspired, too!

Scary Face

The face is so scary, I put it at the end of the post!

However, the rest of the alley is lots of fun, so I’m picking it up from where I left off last post.

A look down from scary face at the top of the alley.

I’m not that pretty, but wait ’til you see the scary face at the top of the alley!

Lots of great Artists have had a hand in these works: DMC, ACK, RASR, BARFO, PEANUT, MOPES and more!

I’m around the corner, on the way to the really scary face.

Well, you’ll have to wait for part 2 before we reach the scary face at the top end of the alley! And believe me, it’s plenty scary! I’ll pick it up from here next post!
